AP Psych - Unit 3 - Cognition, Memory, Intelligence

As his AP psychology teacher was lecturing, Tanner was thinking about competing in a swim meet later that afternoon. Where are Tanner's current thoughts being processed?

• sensory memory
• working memory
• long-term memory
  
• echoic memory
  

The relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system is called ________ memory.

• state-dependent
• long-term
• implicit
• flashbulb

To recognize the active information processing that occurs in short-term memory, researchers have characterized it as ________ memory.

• working
• flashbulb
• repressed
• iconic

A flashbulb memory would typically be stored in ________ memory.

• implicit
  
• echoic
• long-term
  
• short-term

During her psychology test, Kelsey could not remember the meaning of the term proactive interference. Surprisingly, however, she accurately remembered that the term appeared on the fourth line of a left-hand page in her textbook. Her memory of this incidental information is best explained in terms of

• automatic processing.
• priming.
• the serial position effect.
• the spacing effect.

In an effort to remember how to spell “rhinoceros,” Samantha spells the word aloud 30 times. She is using a technique known as

• priming
• maintenance rehearsal

• the peg-word system
• chunking

Ebbinghaus' retention curve best illustrates the value of

• imagery
• rehearsal
• priming
• chunking

Students who restudy course material at the end of a semester in order to pass the AP final exam are especially likely to demonstrate long-term retention of the course material. This best illustrates the value of

• implicit memory
• the serial position effect
• long-term potentation
• the spacing effect

Which of the following is the best example of the testing effect?

• Anxiety associated with testing situations increases recall due to mood-congruent memory.
• The studies that testing researchers conduct are more easily remembered than other studies.
• Testing the same information over and over again decreases recall due to interference.
• Repeated quizzing of information increases the chances it will be recalled.

Semantic encoding is to visual encoding as ________ is to ________.

• effortful processing; automatic processing
  
• iconic memory; flashbulb memory
  
• meaning; imagery
  
• implicit memory; explicit memory
